Tesla’s own AI trainers don’t trust ‘Full Self-Driving’ or its safety stats, Reuters finds

A major Reuters investigation published today reveals that Tesla’s widely touted “Full Self-Driving” safety statistics are built on deeply flawed methodology — and that the company’s own data labelers, the workers who train the AI system, don’t trust the technology to drive them.

The contradictions are stacking up faster than xAI’s unpermitted gas turbines.
